In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will result in inb()/outb() and friends not being declared. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them and guard inline code in headers.

The only call to inb() is inside a section protected by #ifdef CONFIG_PCI. So:That piece of code is a nop anyway. We immediately overwrite clk_wr_offset with a hardcoded selection after the register reads. So if you nuke that nop code then no IOPORT dependency required at all.I agree this "looks" like a nop but are we sure the inb() doesn't have side effects?Yes. It's just trying to check which PLL dividers/etc. are currently used. In VGA mode it gets it from a the GENMO and in non-VGA mode from CLOCK_CNTL. And then it says "screw that" and just uses index 3 instead.
Ok, I've added a patch to remove this part of the code and with that the driver actually builds on s390 (no HAS_IOPORT) so I also removed the HAS_IOPORT dependency. Both will be in my v4. Thanks, Niklas
